7:01 am
delay. >> our team coverage as we remember this giant of the court. and good morning, everybody. americans are waking up to a huge story this morning. the passing of justice scalia. he's being remembered for his brilliant legal mind and fiery style on the bench. and abc news chief anchor george stephanopoulos joins us on this day. he'll anchor a special edition of "this week" later this morning. >> this is such big news, dan. justice scalia, such a towering figure. the longest-serving member of the court. one of the court's most powerful pens. a pillar of the conservative movement. his death puts the supreme court right at the center of this election. sends the stakes through the roof. the court divided right down the middle. if the democrats or president obama choose the replacement,
7:02 am
conservative court. it affects just about every big issue. >> it affects all levels of government. rare situation. george, it's great to have you here in studio. as we look at the man and his three-decade legacy, you're looking at a live picture outside the supreme court. where flags are flying at half staff, as they are in the rest of the country. our team coverage begins with jim avila in shafter, texas. hi, jim. >> reporter: good morning, paula. justice scalia had two passions in life. the law, and hunting. this weekend, he came out to west texas to shoot some quail. but he never made it to the range. this morning, the body of supreme court justice antonin scalia arriving in el paso. officials telling abc news the 79-year-old legal icon died saturday in his sleep from apparent natural causes. >> antonin "nino" scalia was a larger than life presence on the bench.
7:03 am
with an energetic style. incisive wit. and colorful opinions. >> reporter: he was on a hunting trip at cibolo creek ranch in west texas. an avid hunter, he even persuaded fellow justice elena kagan to shoot skeet. law enforcement sources saying he left dinner early and went to his room, feeling ill. when he didn't arrive to breakfast saturday morning, a person associated with the ranch went to check on him. he was found in his room, unresponsive. the catholic diocese of el paso administering his last rites at the ranch. a hearse then carrying his body towards el paso. condolences pouring in from former presidents, current candidates, and government officials. house speaker paul ryan saying, i learned so much from this man. i knew him. i respected him. i looked up to him. we all did. at this point, no autopsy has been performed.
7:04 am
paso. in fact, the justice of the peace declared him dead over the phone and then came out to the ranch to say there was no foul play involved and turned the body over to federal marshals. the fbi is also investigating. george? >> okay, jim. thank you. justice scalia's opinions are legendary. sharp, elegant, funny, and sarcastic. he was a hero to conservatives. inspired a generation of legal thought. abc's terry moran has covered his tenure for so long. he joins us from mexico city. good morning, terry. >> reporter: good morning, george. the supreme court had never seen anything like antonin scalia. he was the court's first italian-american. he was also a high-voltage intellectual. who developed a great theory about the constitution and the law and the proper role of
7:05 am
and he did all of it laughing. it's hard to imagine that great courtroom at the supreme court without him. solemnly swear. >> i, antonin scalia, do solemnly swear. scalia was an american original. a towering icon of conservative a man who loved his life in the law. >> i like figuring out the right answer to legal questions, believe it or not. >> reporter: nino scalia, as he three decades on the supreme court. and in those years, he became a pivotal figure. a justice who did more than hand down rulings. he wanted to change the law itself and the court. through his spirited and forceful advocacy of what he called textualism. his strict interpretation of the constitution. he was unafraid to take a stand and seemingly incapable of backing down. famously lashing out at critics of his finding in the 2000 bush versus gore election dispute.
7:06 am
whatever for bush versus gore. we did the right thing, so -- so there. get over it, it's so old by now. >> reporter: it was that brashness which cemented the court's first italian-american justice in the public's mind. a vivid writer, his opinions became famous for their caustic, take no prisoners style. he called the majority's reasoning in a 2013 defense of marriage act case legalistic argle-bargle. and slammed the court's decision on the affordable care act as jiggery-pokery. >> how can the government -- federal government establish a state exchange? that is gobbledygook. >> reporter: in cases big and small, his wit lashed out in legal arguments. he loved to get a laugh. >> okay, you can't refuse your money or your life. but your life or your wife's? i could refuse that one. >> reporter: but his quick tongue landed him in trouble at times. in 2015, scalia's comments about affirmative action drew protests. >> you know, when you take more,
7:07 am
competent blacks admitted to lesser schools, turns out to be less. >> reporter: but his friends and his colleagues say behind the combative mind and fiery words was a warm man and a close friend. forging an unlikely bond with liberal justice ruth bader ginsburg. fellow new yorkers candid about their friendship, despite fiercely opposing political views. >> we agree on a whole lot of stuff. we do. ruth is really bad only on the knee-jerk stuff. [ laughter ] she is -- >> reporter: antonin scalia grew up in queens, new york. attending xavier high school in manhattan before georgetown and harvard law school, where he met his wife maureen. >> maureen is an extraordinary woman. and without whom i wouldn't be here. >> reporter: his wife and the family they built together, as much a part of his life and legacy as the court and country he served. that seat on the supreme court, something he always cherished. many times dodging questions about stepping down, saying there was only one thing that
7:08 am
>> i will certainly retire at the time where i perceive that i am not as good as i used to be. that i've -- i've lost a step. >> reporter: for many, he never did. love him or loathe him, and americans did both, he was the kind of man to inspire those kinds of emotions in americans. he was certainly one of the most consequential court justices in american history. >> and terry, when you go back through his opinions, where is the most sweeping victory? the most searing defeat? >> reporter: you know, probably his biggest victory was on the second amendment. finding it was an individual
7:09 am
states, localities, and citizens have rights. his biggest defeat, without question, abortion. he desperately wanted to overturn roe versus wade. and he was never able to. >> okay, terry moran, thanks very much. the battle now over who comes next. it's monumental. president obama says he'll nominate a successor. the senate says they won't let it happen. but the balance of power in the court is at stake. jon karl joins us. the battle lines drawn immediately. >> reporter: even before immediately, if that's possible, george. because ted cruz put out a statement that said the next president should be the one that replaces scalia even before the supreme court officially confirmed that scalia was dead. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell put out a statement saying much the same thing, less than an hour after the court made the statement. these battle lines were drawn immediately. and in the debate last night, with the republican presidential candidates, all six of them agreed, saying that there is no way that barack obama should be allowed to name the replacement for justice scalia. but president obama has made it
7:10 am
move forward. and make a nomination anyway. first and foremost, judge sri srinivasan. he's someone the republicans like quite a bit. he's a former supreme court clerk to justice sandra day o'connor. he actually serve nd in the administration of president george w. bush. in his current post on the d.c. court of appeals, he was confirmed 97-0. not a single republican vote against him. george? >> this debate has just begun. >> it has. let's bring in abc news chief legal analyst dan abrams. dan, good morning. >> good morning. >> a lot of names being floated as potential nominees by the president. these are people that have been confirmed by the united states senate. your argument is that this is different. >> right, there's a short list. a lot of them are court of appeals judges who have gone through this process. they've gone to the senate. they've been confirmed.
7:11 am
second. this person or that person was confirmed with relatively little opposition. the rules are different. everything has changed now. two reasons. number one, the presidential campaign. number two, you're talking about justice scalia. justice scalia's memory for conservatives is so important that this time, anything that happened in the past is not particularly relevant to what is going to happen now. point being, it's going to be nearly impossible for president obama to get through the senate almost anyone who has been on his short list. >> how does the court function with only eight justices? can they actually move forward on a lot of the cases in front of them, including cases involving unions and abortion? >> yeah, and there are 4 to 4 decisions sometimes. the court has been very often divided 5-4.
7:12 am
what does that mean practically? the lower court opinion gets effectively confirmed. so whatever the lower court decided previously stands. but, the supreme court then is not setting any precedent. meaning you can't cite that opinion in the future to say, aha, but the supreme court previously ruled x, y, or z. it remains effectively a local decision confirmed without a definitive opinion from the supreme court. which has the possibility of creating quite a mess for the court system. >> is there a precedent for the court having to muddle through down one justice? >> yeah. justices do recuse themselves in certain cases. they say, for example, if they're relatively new to the court. i was involved in that case as a solicitor general or some other way. so i can't be involved. the court then does sometimes have 4 to 4 rulings. it's rare. the idea that you're talking a year, 18 months, of 4-4
7:13 am
completely unprecedented. >> thank you, dan. >> he served for 30 years on the supreme court. some are calling him the most influential justice in recent memory. so for more on his legal legacy, we want to bring in veteran washington observer, cokie roberts, who joins us in pawleys island, south carolina. thank you for joining us this morning. >> hi, paula. good to be with you. >> first and foremost, how do you think justice scalia would want to be remembered? i know he had a legacy of being a constitutional purist. >> i think that is exactly how he would like to be remembered. as someone who cared desperately about the constitution and followed it to the letter by his lights. and did it with great intellect and some humor and sometimes, scathingly. and, in ways that really could take down the lawyers in the case or his colleagues on the court. remarkably, given all that, he was incredibly well liked. >> all right, cokie. thank you.
7:14 am
debate last night. thank you for joining us early this morning. >> paula and cokie, thank you both. and speaking of the debate, that scalia news played a prominent role in the republican presidential debate overnight. this debate quickly got nasty. >> right after the moment of silence for justice scalia. incredibly feisty. i don't think i have heard the word liar used so much in a single debate. let's go to tom llamas for more. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, guys. that came from donald trump. on the defense all night. some of his biggest battles yet exploding on the debate stage. it shows how you important south carolina's primary is. and also how many of the gop candidates want to put an end to the trump campaign. that wild gop debate started peaceful and respectful. the passing of antonin scalia fresh on the minds of the six remaining candidates. all agreeing that president obama shouldn't be the one to
7:15 am
a liberal justice. >> we're not going to give up the u.s. supreme court for a generation by allowing barack obama to make one more liberal appointee. >> reporter: then the real fight started. >> jeb is so wrong. jeb is absolutely so -- [ crowd booing ] >> reporter: donald trump booed loudly by the crowd during an epic clash with jeb bush about the bush family legacy. >> while donald trump was building a reality tv show, my brother was building a security apparatus to keep us safe. and i'm proud of what he did. and he's had the gall to go after -- >> the world trade center came down -- >> reporter: and in a rare move, marco rubio coming to jeb's defense. >> the world trade center came down because bill clinton didn't kill osama bin laden when he had the chance to kill him. >> reporter: trump also tangling with ted cruz, accusing him of running robocalls telling voters the front-runner wouldn't be on the ballot in south carolina.
7:16 am
>> you're the single biggest liar. you're probably worse than jeb bush. you are the single biggest liar. this guy lied. let me tell you. he lied about ben carson when he took votes away from ben carson in iowa. and he just continues. >> reporter: dr. ben carson, refusing to join in on the exchanges. >> is that really what you want? what we just saw? i don't think so. >> reporter: and john kasich predicting who will ultimately gain from these brutal attacks. >> i think we're fixing to lose the election to hillary clinton if we don't stop this. >> reporter: now, south carolina's republican primary is next saturday. this next week may be the most important for jeb bush. he's looking to revive his campaign. he'll get help from president george w. bush tomorrow on the trail. he'll likely face an onslaught from trump. who all week, not only does he not forget, he also does not forgive. a telling moment yesterday, george. jeb bush and donald trump didn't shake hands yesterday. >> they went at it so fiercely
7:17 am
for the first time in a debate, getting it not just from jeb bush but from all sides. >> senator ted cruz, marco rubio. he was a man on an island last night. a lot of conservative writers think last night many of the candidates were trying to take trump out. >> tom llamas, thanks very much. audience, too. the gloves came off and for more on the debate, we want to bring in abc news analyst matt dowd for his take. matt, first of all, as we just there was a whole lot of name-calling. are the attacks helping the candidates? or are they doing irreparable damage to the gop brand? >> you know, paula, demolition derby is entertaining to watch. but after the derby is over, every car is damaged. i think republicans are fast approaching a time of how personal and how visceral and how much name-calling there is that this is not going to do anybody any good in the course of this. they all may survive. but over time, it's not going to be a benefit going into a general election. >> and matt, south carolina has
7:18 am
nominee. last time was the exception. newt gingrich won south carolina, but didn't get the nomination. trump taking a chance last night by going after the bush family in south carolina. which is, you know, that family is loved in that state. >> well, as you know, george w. bush won the state after losing badly in new hampshire in 2000. that was basically his comeback. it put him back on the path to win the general election. they're well-loved there. what would be interesting to me. donald trump attacked george w. bush last night. he attacked lindsey graham, a u.s. senator from south carolina. he got booed by the audience. if donald trump wins south carolina after all that, i think it's very difficult to stop him. if he's able to win south carolina in the midst of all that. >> right. but this is a guy who has shown over and over again that the normal rules of politics don't apply to him. that said, is there anybody you think came out well last night? jeb bush? marco rubio? kasich? >> well, i think, to me, i had two sort of folks that i thought were winners in the course of it.
7:19 am
he sort of tried to stay out of the fight. tried to stay above it all. and i think he's gotten a lift from his second place finish in new hampshire. i thought he did well. i thought marco rubio, after his last awful debate performance, where he got attacked by chris christie, i thought he came back and did well. i thought jeb did fine. if i were picking two people i thought won, it would be john kasich and marco rubio. >> thank you, matt. we want to remind you george "this week" with guests marco rubio and john kasich. and on the democratic side, the big winner in the new hampshire primary, bernie sanders. great to have you in studio. >> everybody wanted to come on donald trump is going to join us. ted cruz is going to join us. this issue is so huge. all the candidates want to weigh in. >> it's an interesting time. george, thank you. go get ready for the show. have a great one. thank you for joining us. we appreciate it. >> sure. we want to turn now to the
7:20 am
america. and indra petersons is on the story from a frigid central park. good morning to you. >> good morning. you know, since i cover weather a lot, i like to think i'm tougher than you guys. but when it's this cold, it's game over. outright dangerous. right now, central park, you can see. currently 0 degrees. the actual low. we haven't not that cold since 1994. binghamton, the actual temperature, 18 below. ties for the second all-time coldest ever. so you're talking about very cold temperatures out here. let's look at how many of you are affected. the mid-atlantic to the northeast. these temperatures are bitter cold. once you add in that wind chill we're talking 20 below in new city.
7:21 am
here's a look at your weathe >> the takeaway? stay indoors today. by tomorrow, things should quickly recover. paula? dan? >> all right, indra. stay warm. coming up on "gma"-- bus on fire. the middle schoolers sent rushing for the exits when they saw these flames. what happened next? >> a scary situation. on a happier note, the nba's all-star game tips off tonight. we'll hear from steph curry about whether he thinks he's the best player in the game. guess what his answer was? >> i'm going to guess he didn't stay neutral on that one. and if you want something to warm your heart this cold valentine's day -- we have the best rom com rentals for you and your sweetheart.

welcome back to "gma." and we are covering a huge story on this sunday morning. tributes pouring in right now for the supreme court justice antonin scalia.
7:29 am
he was a staunch conservative. the longest serving justice on the current supreme court. his abrupt death setting off an immediate political battle about the future of the court and the country. >> and the news of scalia's passing provided a rare moment of agreement during saturday's gop debate. nearly all six candidates insisting president obama step aside and allow his successor president to make a replacement. has every right to nominate a the president says he'll nominate scalia's replacement in due time. which will set off a heated contentious few months. we're focused on the scalia news this morning. but -- >> but we're also tracking the other stories and headlines. for that, as always, we turn to ron claiborne.

7:37 am
there are those who say we cannot defeat a corrupt political system and fix a rigged economy. but i believe we need to lift our vision above the obstacles in place and look to the american horizon. to a nation where every child can not only dream of going to college, but attend one. where quality healthcare will be a birthright of every citizen. where a good job is not a wish, but a reality. where women receive equal pay and a living wage is paid to all. an america where after a lifetime of labor, there is time for rest and grandchildren. a nation that defends our people and our values, but no longer carries so much of that burden alone. i know we can create that america if we listen to our conscience and our hearts and not to the pundits and the naysayers.
